Recovery & Incident Response
Is a clean recovery point the same as a recent backup?
No. A recent backup is simply a newer copy of data; a clean recovery point is a copy that has been inspected and confirmed suitable for restoration. The newest backup may still contain ransomware-encrypted files, corrupted data, malware, or attacker persistence.
During ransomware recovery, recency matters only after cleanliness is proven. The goal is to restore from the newest recovery point that evidence shows is clean.
